X Factor: Calvin Harris ‘Simon Cowell has a frightening stranglehold on the charts’
Calvin Harris has been chatting about his pineapple invasion on Saturday night’s X Factor and the reasons behind his stunt.
Harris claims that he pulled the prank in order to highlight how much of a joke the show really is.
Harris told Radio One:
“Where can X Factor go from there? It’s not a music competition.
“If you look at music, it’s a frightening stranglehold that Simon Cowell has got over the entire music chart in the UK at the moment.”
He added: “For the greater good of the nation I wanted to go out there and make an idiot of myself and bring the whole show into another area in which it’s treated as a joke.
“I was backstage waiting to go on and I was listening to everyone taking it incredibly seriously. I was inspired to make a mockery of the show. As a music competition it is a joke and I think it should be treated as such.”
